    Digiscoping

    I initially posted this in the wrong forum! Sorry! So I was at the most recent hunting expo here in SLC and bought one of these: SM Field Guide smartoptix.com I am impressed in that I can leave my waterproof case on and adjust it to my spotting scope or binos. However, not my rifle scopes...

    Hearing protection

    I have the Howard Leight's for work. They SUCK comparatively in performance. I have two pairs of personally owned SORDINS and issued MSA/Peltors. The Howard Leights are less expensive, but, they are not NEARLY as comfortable as GEL SEALS on Sordins, TCI's or MSA/Peltors. The Howard Leights...

    Hearing protection

    Just like a DAT to try & wear two pairs of SORDINS... Kidding brother! :p Great point about dB's - that is lost on many. I really enjoy wearing foamies and my Sordins. I can crank the Sordins up and still hear the brass hitting the gravel louder than the firearms report. For a...

    30mm rounds

    Inert projectiles and cartridge are legal to own here in Utah - you might want to check your state and local laws though! The 'BRASS' isn't brass, its an alloy or aluminum. I have a couple 40mm Bofors cartridge cases that are BRASS and 105mm BRASS cases PM me if you are interested!? Also...

    Peltor ear pro battery issues

    Those look legit. That stinks about the warranty work. What about a return to your eBay seller? ~Will

    Peltor ear pro battery issues

    Did you buy these from a reputable dealer or from a person or eBay? Reason I ask, is that battery usage is indicative of AIRSOFT KNOCK OFF stuff. Depending on the model - real Peltors or Sordins ought to be running about 100 plus hours. I am not saying yours are "Z-TACTICAL" knock - offs...

    How to Ship Loaded Ammo?

    #1 - YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PACKAGING OF THE SHIPMENT. IF YOU FAIL TO PACKAGE IT CORRECTLY AND INJURE SOME BOX SLINGER OR DAMAGE UPS EQUIPMENT OR UPS FACILITY - THEN YOU ARE LIABLE!! [I LEARNED this nugget!] :( I package the ammunition in boxes like you buy the ammo, NO LOOSE AMMO...

    New Idea

    Depends on WHAT you want out of the deal. If you want to give the idea away to better the firearms community, then find out who makes that area of product and pitch it to them. Granted, some companies get a lot of 'good idea fairies' that want to have some company take all the risk and...

    trg bipod or lra?

    "A bipod in hand is worth two on the drawing table." I am awaiting that release as well, but, if I wanted a bipod RIGHT NOW - I would go with the LRA. A person could sell it for $50 less than what they paid for the LRA and 'should' have enough to buy the B&T 5H when it makes it to market...

    Upgrade in cheek piece for Accuracy International Stocks

    I actually went with this one instead: http://estore.jwwinco.com/default.aspx?page=item detail&itemcode=653.10-M5-25-ST-MS Brass tip and 25mm length to stick out a tad. At $5.35 a piece, that is more in line for a BOLT. -- I like the MOLESKIN idea. ~Will

    Upgrade in cheek piece for Accuracy International Stocks

    I was thinking about trying the RAT pad: RAT Pads | RAT Grips and adding it to my AICS riser. Really just need to add some tackiness to the riser I already have, although I do LOVE the Victor Co. Skin - I was looking to upgrade the riser bolts for thumb screws but NOT for $33.00 for TWO bolts...

    LBT 6094A or TYR BPC/GPC or PICO?

    Comfortable doing WHAT? Hiking difficult inclines/declines terrain in the winter (an extra layer) or hiking flat lands in the summer (breathability). Or riding in a vehicle (non-armored civvie truck or APC where flexibility & the RIDE is important). Or just standing around a live fire range...

    New BIG BOY Atlas Bipod at shot show 50BMG 375CT 408CT

    I suppose anything is possible. A lot of inletting though to get the pan & tilt. That would be an interesting evolution, the combining & streamlining of bipods to stocks. But, with the many options of stocks and many varieties of bipods, I think it would have to be custom jobby, unless there...

    SALE Today only. 50% off

    I looked at their gripping material a few years ago, and was directing the company I worked for to become a partner in this technology - but - they did not follow through. That gripping material is pure and simple awesome. Even with blood & grime on your gloves and grip you can still maintain...

    Light weight body armor

    I get the same way Smith! ;) - RoughArms - Are you looking for specifically that brand, or will any high molecular weight Polyethylene plates work? HMWPE is nice, but, it depends on your mission & threat level. The bonus to HMWPE is that they can be rougher handled, don't have to worry...
